With this new full flight simulator now installed, the airline will adopt the Train@Home model that is successfully being used by airlines worldwide and is providing substantial savings on the cost of their pilot training operations. This training model also increases the availability of an airline’s pilots to fly. China Express Airlines was previously sending its pilots to a training facility in Madrid, Spain.

“We are delighted that China Express Airlines has placed their trust in TRU to provide this high-fidelity training solution which will not only provide a significant cost savings to this fast-growing regional airline, but also simplify their training process,” commented George Karam, Vice President and General Manager of TRU’s Air Transport Simulation division. “In parallel, we continue to build our customer support infrastructure in China as we aim to service our customers over the life of our simulators.”
